Dear Fro-Yo Sample Consultants,
As your Fro-Yo Sample Manager, please allow this memo to serve as a final warning: all customers visiting our frozen yogurt establishment must sample each and every one of our four-hundred flavors of fro-yo per visit. Yes, you heard me correctly: that's PERVISIT. Failure to provide customers with adequate fro-yo flavor sampling may result in a demotion, termination, or worse.
Let me make this extremely clear, because it seems as if I didn't do so in Fro-Yo Sample Camp: We advertise that we have four-hundred flavors of fro-yo FOR A REASON. Not just any reason, but because we have FOUR-HUNDREDFLAVORS OF FRO-YO, including sweet potato fro-yo, breast milk fro-yo, and tree bark fro-yo. We can only keep our four-hundred flavor reputation by ensuring that each and every customer samples each and every one of our four-hundred flavors of fro-yo.
I try to keep public fro-yo criticism infrequent  which, frankly, doesn't come so easy to the guy who basically invented modern fro-yo  but after having to kindly remind so many of you to "keep the customer a-sampling" IN FRONT OF THEACTUALCUSTOMER, I felt that typing, printing, and posting this memo around our fro-yo establishment was appropriate.
Now you're reading it.
Many of you have responded to my criticism by asking, what if the customer isn't interested in fro-yo samples after their 43rd sample, disregarding hundreds of other delicious fro-yo flavors? To that I say, who can't sell free fro-yo, possibly the EASIEST thing to sell in the whole entire world? I mean, do people like free money? It's basically the same thing.
Some of you have asked HOW to keep a customer a-sampling  more so, won't a customer a-sampling through all four-hundred flavors of fro-yo surpass what a normal human can possibly eat and vastly exceed the surgeon general's recommended intake of sugar? No. Our fro-yo is so light, airy and delicious that it's basically like not eating anything at all. You could inject our fro-yo directly into someone's veins and they wouldn't feel much besides a little chilly.
A few of you have asked, what if the customer doesn't want to sample a certain fro-yo flavor? To that I say  tough! That's life. There's fro-yo you like, there's fro-yo you don't like. Just like there's good, there's evil. Just like there's Batman, there's The Joker. Just like there's blueberry cotton-candy fro-yo, there's asparagus fro-yo. Just like there's margarine fro-yo, there's cow blood fro-yo. Deal with it! Deal with ALL of it!
If any of this makes you nervous, don't fear, my Fro-Yo Sample Consultants. I've developed Fro-Yo Sampling Guidelines to help you on your journey. It is a journey, after all. Let's begin.

1. GREET each customer that enters our fro-yo shop with a tray of all four-hundred flavor samples. Yes, that's a lot of samples. Yes, this is a large tray.2. INFORM the customer of the day's new fro-yo flavors and provide a sample as you announce each new flavor loudly and proudly.3. FOLLOW the customer with your sample tray to the self-serve fro-yo stations. Each self-serve station is a perfect opportunity for you to provide a fro-yo sample as the customer decides which flavor they want.4. MATCH the customer's self-served fro-yo with toppings. Each topping has a specific fro-yo flavor it can be paired with. Help the customer decide on toppings by providing more samples of fro-yo.5. SHOW the customer all of the great fro-yo flavors that they didn't try or buy. Shove what's remaining of your fro-yo samples into their fro-yo self-serve cup. If you run out of room, fill up one of the fro-yo sample to-go buckets under the register.6. PULLTHEEMERGENCYFRO-YO LEVER if the customer attempts to leave our fro-yo establishment without a-sampling all fro-yo flavors. The lever immediately drops all four-hundred samples of fro-yo from the ceiling onto the customer, doing all of the work for you.

As your Fro-Yo Sample Manager, it's my duty to ensure that you're prepared to have customers sample all four-hundred flavors of fro-yo, including mahi-mahi fro-yo, gasoline fro-yo and baby-wipe fro-yo. Using my Fro-Yo Sampling Guidelines, now you are.
Always remember: If a customer is full, fro-yo will help her lose weight. If a customer is sick, fro-yo is his cure. If a customer is unable to take in food through the mouth, get some fro-yo all up in their goddamn food tubes!
Allow me to remind you once more of what you're all capable of: providing customers with the most flavorful experience possible while in this fro-yo shop. If you would like to take this memo with you for reference, feel free to tear it down and put it in your pocket. There's another memo hanging right behind it.
